Cats with Collars

This is another one of Jackie’s quilt that she made for her grandkids. She made cats blocks with 3D collar and ties, or bow ties. Her fabrics are bold and bright making this a very fun kids quilt. I stippled the background, SID around the cats and CC’d the sashing squares but the biggest challenge with this quilt was all the thread changes. I think there were about 15 in all.
*edit Dec 7 - I just found out the name of this pattern, it's Ties and Tails designed by Judydidit. That should help with a google search if your looking for it.

Kathy: Wow! What a great awesome quilt. And wonderful job quilting around the 3-D collars and noses!Wow! What a great quilt :) Cats in ties :) It just makes one smile!Did you watch the Dr Who 50th Anniversary yesterday? It was fantastic.

Wow, Jackie, that is bright, but it came together well. The little black keyline around the blocks makes all the difference. I must remember that! I'm sure this was tricky to quilt, Kathy, and you did a great job too. Lucky grandkids!

I am pretty sure that Jackie created this herself. She might have used paper piece cat blocks but I don't know where they are from. I don't have Jackie's email as she drops off her quilts when she visits here in the summer and I just give them to her daughter when I am done. She lives in South Africa!

About Me

I have been quilting for over 20 years and have turned my passion for quilting into a home business. Tamarack Shack Longarm Quilting opened it's doors January 2009 on the shores of Schist Lake in Northern Manitoba. I have recently moved to Emo, ON and looking forward to discovering all the beauty of the area and meeting new quilters.
This blog is where I share photos of my quilts as well as my clients quilts. I also enjoy dyeing fabric especially snow dyeing as we have snow 6 months of the year. I have thrown in few personal stories about living on the shores of Schist Lake and now I'm ready to explore and share photos of the area around Emo, Ontario as life isn't all about quilting.
